How to Prepare for the MELAB Test The MELAB test is an exam that assesses English language proficiency for college students and others who are not native English speakers. Test takers should learn the content of the exam and ways to prepare for this important language proficiency test.The University of Michigan English Language Institute produces the MELAB test. It provides a few specific tips for preparing for the MELAB, but most are pretty general in nature. Like all language proficiency tests, the MELAB can have virtually any topic in the English language. This means that there is no such thing as studying too much for the MELAB exam. General ways to improve your language proficiency really depend on your personal situation. But a good way to improve every single day is to get a good dictionary and carry it around. Look up words you know in your own language but do not know in English. When you speak or think in your own language, develop the habit of trying to translate what you say into English. When you think of a word you dont know, look it up. This is primarily for vocabulary practice, as it is very difficult to teach yourself grammar by doing this exercise. Because the MELAB test does have grammar, this means you need to employ other study techniques. Obviously, any grammar book in English is going to be helpful. It should be a grammar book used by native English speakers, as this will give you extra practice in using your dictionary and learning new words from the lessons found in the grammar book. They say practice makes perfect, and this is definitely the mindset you should have when learning English and studying for the MELAB English language proficiency exam. If possible, speak with native speakers. This is good practice for learning both grammar, everyday language, and new vocabulary. Never be afraid to make mistakes, as this is the normal process of learning unfamiliar material. And never get offended when a native speaker corrects your mistakes. T
